What happens here
The fence in the video features a consistent, rich reddish-brown finish, indicating that a stain or sealant has been applied. This inferred step, typically done after all wood components are installed and cleaned, involves preparing the wood surface and applying the chosen protective and aesthetic finish. The wood should be clean, dry, and free of dust or debris before application. The stain or sealant is then applied according to the manufacturer's instructions, often requiring multiple coats, to protect the wood from weathering, UV damage, and moisture, while enhancing its natural beauty as seen in the finished product. This step is not depicted in the video.
Goal: Protect the wood and enhance the aesthetic of the fence with a desired stain or sealant.
